favorable geographical situationThe mountains and the water are close to each other.
Fu Jiabian Modern Agricultural Industrial Demonstration Park is a provincial-level park, located in the national forest park - Wuxi Mountain South, with beautiful scenery and excellent environment, fragrant flowers and fruits in all seasons, lush forest fruits, tea and bamboo, and the turquoise water of Shenshan Lake, which is very rich in natural resources. The park utilizes the unique topography, pleasant ecological environment and rustic local flavor, and has built ten miles of Meiling, ten miles of plum blossom avenue, one thousand acres of bamboo sea, one thousand acres of tea plantations, ten thousand acres of strawberries, ten thousand acres of hilly scenery, and has successfully ranked among the National Agricultural Science and Technology Popularization Demonstration Bases, the National Leisure Agricultural and Rural Tourism Demonstration Sites, the National Top Ten Famous Gardens, the National AAA Tourist Scenic Spot, and the National Farmers' Entrepreneurship and Innovation Bases.
In the 1980s, Fu Jiabian Park combined with the low hills and hilly terrain, according to local conditions, the implementation of comprehensive demonstration of the transformation of low hills, the innovative development of plum and tea intercropping planting model, to create a unique plum landscape, attracting millions of domestic and foreign tourists to Fu Jiabian Plum Blossom Hill in the spring of each year to step on the plum blossom and enjoy the plum.
The Phantom of AestheticsPlum and Tea Together
The integration of tea and plum, ancient. Planting, the Ming Dynasty Luo endowment (1537-1620) by the "tea solution" recorded: "tea garden should not be mixed with bad wood, but gui, plum, Xinyi, magnolia, pine, bamboo and so on, and between the plant, but also enough to cover the frost and snow, reflecting the autumn sun." Edible, plum blossom and tea with the use of brewing tea, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have been recorded. Implications, the ancients believed that plum and tea of the elegant atmosphere similar to each other.
Fu Jiabian plum and tea intercropping characteristics of agricultural landscape has a high agricultural aesthetic value, mixed with the Oriental aesthetics of the neat and chaotic as one. "The intercropping design of plum high tea short is not only a perfect combination ecologically, but also a marvelous piece of landscape." Agricultural experts said that its chaotic aesthetics stems from its 130-plus species of plum trees mixed, the blooming season, the garden single-petal early white, pink cinnabar, Jiangnan Palace Pink, Early Jade Butterfly and other varieties of plum blossoms open one after another, the plum blossom of the pink, red, white and the green of the tea tree combined with the integration of a dot halo open, as if a painting of the spring.
confluence effectIntercropping systems have many benefits
Fu Jiabian Plum and Tea Intercropping and Tea Culture System is an agricultural system centered on the composite cultivation of tea trees and fruit plums, tea-making process and tea culture. The system of intercropping cultivation planting mode in the landscape value, production value shows "1 +1 > 2" integration effect. The "Mei Xiang Tea" produced in the park is sweet, delicate and fresh with unique aroma, presenting distinctive ecological and humanistic landscape characteristics. Biodiversity in the tea plantation adopting intercropping mode increases, significantly improves the regional microclimate, realizes the enhancement of the overall resilience of the system, and promotes balanced and sustainable development. During the dry season, the plum shades the tea from direct sunlight to reduce leaf transpiration and conserve water and moisture; during the rainy season, the root system of the plum alleviates soil erosion caused by surface runoff. In the intercropping mode of tea plantation with forest belt, the average wind speed within 25 times the tree height can be reduced by 38%, the temperature difference between day and night is reduced, and the frost-free period is prolonged. Moderate shading can improve the photosynthetic efficiency of tea trees, which can increase the yield by more than 10%, and the amino acids in tea leaves can be increased by more than 34.8%. Good plant communities provide suitable habitat for various wild animals, especially birds, and promote the formation of relatively stable biological chain, which can inhibit pests and diseases, and is conducive to the increase of tea production and quality.
